When you first enter the rescue, one of the first dogs you will meet is our beautiful, Pepper!  We knew she was special from the very first time we laid eyes on her.  Not only is she a unique color, she has a personality that is very calm and caring as well.  Pepper enjoys laps...she will melt in yours!

It wasn't long before volunteer, Nancy Burton, began training Pepper to join her in becoming a Certified Volunteer Team with Pets for Life, Inc.  Pets for Life enhances the care and treatment of people in local hospitals, nursing homes, shelters for domestic violence, mental health programs, treatment centers for youth and corrections facilities through the use of certified teams of pets and volunteers.  After several months of training, they both passed the test to become a Certified Volunteer Team!

We are so very proud of both of them for their commitment to our community!   We are especially proud of Pepper who is living proof that mill dogs do recover and can be a vital part of community life.  This team brings joy and happiness to residents at a local rehab facility regularly.

THANK YOU Nancy for your commitment to Missouri Puppy Mill Rescue, Pepper and our community...its because of volunteers like you MPMR is able to reach out and be an active participant in our world.
